After leaving her estranged husband, Sand moved to Paris where she wrote, wore men’s clothing, smoked cigars, and had love affairs with famous men and an actress named Marie. In an era of incredible artistic talent, Sand was the most famous female writer of her time. Her lovers and friends included Frederic Chopin, Gustave Flaubert, Franz Liszt, Eugene Delacroix, Victor Hugo, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and more. In a major departure, Elizabeth Berg has created a gorgeous novel about the life of George Sand, written in luminous prose, with exquisite insight into the heart and mind of a woman who was considered the most passionate and gifted genius of her time.

Thank you for sending me a wishlist book. I really enjoy reading Elizabeth Berg! Can’t wait to read this one. Thank you for sharing this with me. A good read to start the New Year!

I really enjoyed the story about George Sand, pen name of a female French author. Berg does a wonderful job of putting together a story that includes all aspects of her life. I fell into the story and read it quickly. No spoilers. I highly recommend this one. Enjoy!
